CVE-2022-22957 is a remote code execution vulnerability affecting VMware Workspace ONE Access, VMware Identity Manager, and VMware vRealize Automation. According to the provided content, the issue arises when an authenticated administrative user can supply a malicious JDBC URI that triggers deserialization of untrusted data. This unsafe deserialization condition can lead to execution of attacker-controlled code on the target system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting VMware Workspace ONE Access, exploiting a chain of two vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-22956 and CVE-2022-22957) to achieve remote code execution as the 'horizon' user. The exploit first bypasses authentication using a flaw in the OAuth2TokenResourceController, then leverages a JDBC injection vulnerability in the dbCheck method to execute arbitrary code. The module supports both command execution and staged payloads (such as Meterpreter reverse shells), and can use either direct command injection or a dropper via curl/wget. The exploit is fully weaponized, providing reliable remote access and instructions for post-exploitation privilege escalation. The main endpoints targeted are REST API paths under /SAAS/API/1.0/REST/ on the victim's HTTPS service (default port 443). The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
